Domestic or Qualifying Country Metal Fabrication and Assembly

The contract requires the provision of metal fabrication, welding, and assembly services for lead-shielded radioactive storage cabinets, with strict compliance to DFARS 225.872 to ensure all materials are sourced domestically or from qualifying countries. Traceable sourcing of materials is mandatory, meaning each component must be documented to verify its origin and chain of custody, ensuring full adherence to federal defense procurement regulations. The work involves precision manufacturing of cabinets designed to safely contain radioactive materials, requiring specialized expertise in handling hazardous shielding and assembly techniques that meet stringent safety and regulatory standards. The opportunity is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 332323 for Other Metal Fabrication, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio office, with performance expected at Wright-Patterson AFB. Responses are due by August 12, 2026, and the solicitation was posted on August 5, 2026. While no set-aside type is specified, the requirement for domestic sourcing inherently limits eligibility to contractors capable of fulfilling the DFARS compliance criteria. This contract demands a proven track record in defense-related fabrication, robust quality control systems, and verifiable supply chain transparency to satisfy federal security and compliance obligations.
